I am a French native speaker, really enthusiastic about teaching my language and sharing resources. I spent all my childhood in France. I moved to England eight years ago to do a Masters in Education and Modern Foreign Languages. I then did my teacher training (PGCE) in Modern Foreign languages, at King's College, in London and was in charge of the French department in a London private school for many years. I now teach and work as a Housemistress in a British school, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

This is a complete example of an Individual Research Project (IRP) with a completed log book.
The title of the research is based on the following topic:
Titre de mon sujet : Le rap français dans les banlieues
Problématique : Le rap pour Supreme NTM est-il une échappatoire pour ces jeunes
banlieusards français ? Comment arrivent-ils à dénoncer une société qui va mal à
travers ce genre musical?
This resource includes:
- A completed log book by a student with all the steps and tips to guide and help your student.
- All the sources that go with the project (an analysis of one of the sources to show students how to get the most out of their sources)
- An EDITABLE log book for your students to complete on their laptop.
Teacher tip: I actually gave this sample to my students before the summer and asked them to come back in September with a topic they want to research and start selecting a few sources so they can formulate a specific question or area of study in September.
Please check my other resources on the IRP and do not forget to check this resource for regular updates! :-) I will soon add an audio tape of a sample oral to go with this project.

Students find it very helpful to have everything in one place with activities to practise and most importantly the activities enable them to work out the grammar points themselves before being given the detailed explanation.
There is a "work out the grammar point" activity for each point studied, a detailed and clear grammar explanation with plenty of examples and one or several translation exercises/mini-whiteboard activities/written tasks for each grammar point. There are challenge activities for each grammar point too.
